A new unique way of climbing stairs, pretty neat. The first half of the video is going up stairs, the second half is going down. I'm interested to know what sensors/motors they used, and how the wheels are being powered . . . I'm pretty sure there is a remote control directing this . . .

The video is also being fast forwarded, but they don't say how much. Probably 2x.

Impressive! I'm just trying to imagine how many motors/actuators it uses...but I'm failing miserably!

I can imagine this design being used in commercial robots in the future (such as typical household/butler/helper robots). The way it climbs stairs reminds me a bit of how the "Wheg" robot moves (a movie of this was posted a while ago)
